She [Virginia Madsen] and I had a really long relationship after that movie ['Class'] I love her, and I can imagine it was not much fun to do that big sequence with a bunch of laughing, ogling frat-boy actors. I mean, can you imagine putting up with me, [John] Cusack, Alan Ruck, and Andrew McCarthy at 18?

That's what I grew up loving. Whether it's 30 Rock or The Office or Parks And Rec... I don't know if those still work on network today or not, but The Grinder did not. But the great news is that it lives on on Netflix.

In no way would I ever assume when I meet some girl that she wants to sleep with me; that doesn't enter my mind. I think somebody who did assume that would be such an insufferably arrogant person that you couldn't be around him.

I'm not going to stop talking to people who come up to me in an airport. I'm not going to worry about what may be their ulterior motive.

It was sort of the first movie [The Specials ] where I really got to let my comedy freak flag fly. And everybody in it made me laugh really hard. I wish more people had seen it.

When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously.

[The Specials ]was always going to be an underground, underdog kind of movie. But I love when people bring that up, because it's very early, vintage James Gunn.
